Is your washing machine filling with water but not draining it at the end of the wash cycle? Common causes include a blocked drain filter, kinked drain hose, drain pump problem or another drainage issue.

COMMON REASONS A WASHING MACHINE IS NOT DRAINING

Drain filter: A clogged filter can restrict water flow.
Drain hose: A kink or blockage can stop water leaving the machine.
Drain pump: A blocked or faulty pump may prevent draining.
Debris: Coins, lint and small objects can restrict the drain path.
Internal hose: An internal restriction can reduce or stop drainage.
Control issue: A control-related problem may stop the drain stage.

SIMPLE CHECKS YOU CAN TRY

  1. Check the drain filter: If your model has an accessible filter, check for lint, coins or other debris.
  2. Check the drain hose: Look for a visible kink or blockage and confirm its position according to the manual.
  3. Check for standing water: Do not force the door open. Follow your model safe draining instructions.
  4. Try a drain or spin cycle: If available, run it once after the basic checks and note any error code or unusual pump noise.

Safety: Disconnect power before carrying out any user-level check described in your appliance manual. Do not open electrical or internal components.

WHAT IF THE WASHING MACHINE STILL DOES NOT DRAIN?

If the basic checks do not solve the problem, the issue may involve the drain pump, internal hose, wiring, control components or another part of the drainage system. The exact cause depends on the model and symptoms.

Consider professional inspection if the washer still will not drain, repeatedly shows a drain-related error, makes unusual pump noises, leaks water, or stops with water remaining in the drum.
